  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Proceedings of the Institute of Industrial Engineers Asian Conference 2013

Abstract

Today’s supply chain managers are facing plenty of risks due to uncertainties of inbound supplies. Buyer must learn how to mitigate those unexpected risks. In this study, we explore supply risk management via structural, relational, and cognitive approaches from a buying firm’s perspective based on the social capital theory. We also propose that the three forms of social capitals are positively related to buyer–supplier performance improvements. Consequently, the performance improvement of buyer–supplier will positively influence the innovation performance.
